Mysteries & Thrillers
Reader review:
“This book is a great thriller and a first rate suspense. It’s certainly a book that you cannot put down.”
“This book is the perfect combination of great story and strong character, with emotional depth and gloriously funny moments.”
Reader review:
“This is part of a laugh out loud trilogy following a female serial killer.”
Reader review:
“This is the first book in the DCI Ryan Series (LJ Ross has other series to follow: Alexander Gregory + A couple of Summer Suspense Mysteries, which are also brilliant reads!). You imagine you are in the North of England with the characters, fighting the good fight against several Criminal Masterminds. The Characters of DCI Ryan and his Sidekick Frank (who loves a Stottie or two), are easy to fall in love with for being kind, honest police doing a tough job. There are several twists and turns. Holy Island is the start of a wonderful journey which I definitely recommend. Each book leaves you clamouring for more. Enjoy!”
Reader review:
“The opening chapter grips you from the first page, Anna is running for her life and she takes us on a journey with her that had me on the edge of my seat at times.“
Reader review:
“Excellent character development. Keeps you curious to the end and beyond. The writing is tight and every word drips with intrigue.”
Reader review:
“I thoroughly recommend this book. I couldn’t put it down, the writing is brilliant with its twists and turns all the way through. Will be looking at more from this amazing author.”
Reader review:
“This is was gold standard story telling. I loved the plot, the characters, the themes of infertility and mental health that were dealt with so sensitively in the story, and the writing style of the author.”
Reader review:
“An excellent and sympathetic insight into the sometimes forgotten ‘why’ tragedies occur. A sensitive approach to the desperation and extreme personal distress that can drive a perpetrator to such desperate measures. It certainly opened my eyes.”
Reader review:
“A slow burn, but thoroughly compelling from the start, the intrigue builds the mystery deepens and the twists bend you in all directions.”
Reader review:
“This book had me on the edge of my seat, trying to work out the mystery of the 6 girls on the hen weekend. Psychological thrillers are one of my favourites to read and this did not disappoint.”
Reader review:
“I love a bit of office politics, especially when it ends with a grisly death. Masterfully plotted, great characterisation and a real page turner. Bravo!”
Reader review:
“How can you turn away from a book that starts with a murder? The short answer is you cannot.”
Reader review:
“Very creepy and dark right from the start. It kept me asking questions as I was reading it. I’ve only read one other thriller by Lisa Jewell, and now want to catch up on the rest. This is a complex, multi-layered book that is very cleverly constructed. I thought it culminated in a very satisfactory ending, too.”
Reader review:
“The spy novel has been elevated from pulp fiction to highbrow literature here, without losing any of the thrill. It is certainly a must read.”
Reader review:
“This is a typical ‘very English’ whodunnit, featuring eccentric characters who come alive on the page… It’s clever, it’s sad, it’s moving in places, and it’s wickedly funny throughout.”
Holly’s review:
“I read this in under a week, which for me is super fast because I’m the slowest reader. The reason I read it so fast was because it stressed me out so badly I wanted it to be over and out of my life – I mean that in a really good way! It’s more of a psychological thriller, it’s not for the faint-hearted and it’s really dark in places. If it was made for the telly I don’t think I’d be able to watch it. It’s a bit jumpy. I did enjoy it – it was good, it keeps you guessing and I also must say, it’s quite sexy. If you like thrillers, this is a goodie. It scared me HUGELY.” — via our Instagram

Holly’s review:
“I woke up super early to finish this book before the kids woke up… wow… it was amazing! I loved every page.”
Reader review:
“A murder mystery book, the first of a series set in 1950s Brighton that really keeps you guessing right until the very end.”
Reader review:
“Utterly captivating. I was so consumed by the storyline and the characters I found myself holding my breath at times. The best book I have read in a long time, providing that heady mix of not wanting to put it down and yet not wanting it to be over. Truly masterful writing.”
Reader review:
“This book was so brilliantly thrilling that I ended up reading all of her books! Loved them all.”
“This really *is* impossible to put down. I read it in three sittings; it would have been one if I hadn’t had to sleep, eat, and have a shower. Excellent dialogue, more twists than a waltzer, and all delivered in a very economic and approachable style. A TV series is surely only a matter of time.”
Reader review:
“Yet another Lee Child classic. Reacher is my favourite character. The story and plotline move at a fantastic pace!”
Holly’s review:
“My Husbands Killer by @lauramarshallauthor was gripping… think the pages actually turned themselves… friendship, Love, Lies and a little murder.”
“The family upstairs is a compulsive read. Once you open the book you’ll be hard pressed to put it down. I love Lisa Jewell novels & this book is one of her best.”
“False Witness is a suspenseful thriller about two sisters who get caught up in a revenge plot linked to their pasts. I actually think this is the best book I’ve ever read.”
“5 Brilliant Stars!! Soooo CREATIVE, extremely SURPRISING Twist! I am sure you have never read this plot before! Overall, a pleasant surprise!”
“An extremely dark and entertaining thriller by one of my favourite authors!”
“I really enjoyed reading this book, I could not put it down. A murder mystery, in the style of Agatha Christie, a real whodunnit! A brilliant ending too, that did not let it down, if you love murder mysteries you must read this!”
Reader review:
“The sequel to her book ‘The Family Upstairs’, and amazing to see what happened to the children after they left the house.”
“This was a book that I couldn’t put down! Everybody needs to read this book. The twists and turns in it is unbelievable – an amazing read! One of the best books I’ve ever read, I can safely say. Brilliant.”
“A fantastic fast paced thriller that had me hooked from the first page! Couldn’t put it down. The twists and turns will keep you guessing, you think you know and then it all changes!! I really struggle to read books but this kept my attention the whole way through and I finished it in three days.”
“I love a crime thriller but this one was amazing. The ending had me questioning everything I had just read. Brilliant read.”
“This is a book that can’t be put down. A gripping dark thriller, with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. A must read…we all have a story.”
